About This Book

A castaway narrator, William Morgan, recounts survival after his sloop capsizes near a small Caribbean island, describing the struggle to reach shore, improvising shelter, finding food, and crafting tools. Exploration of the island and coastal waters leads to the discovery of a sunken galleon and a perilous search for its treasure, complicated by rival parties, pearl-fishers, and violent confrontations. Episodes detail domestic tasks, inventive use of local resources, strained alliances, and moral reckonings, culminating in the resolution of the treasure hunt and the fates of those involved.
